As I said some more than others.

G-limits in game for example are fantastical accross the board in general.

Sure MiG-29 and SU-27 do not feel as controllable at low speed without AOA limits as they appear to be at airshows but other aircraft are held back by the instructor in RB as well.

What I said therefore still stands.

Both the Mig29 and Su27 can’t perform like they do at airshows because their flight model is gimped and they both have way too much drag

The bug report has nothing to do with g limits but with how much speed the Mig29 gains while turning with a constant g load of 6G

J7E is one of the most broken/overperforming aircraft in the game.

May I introduce you to the f16a

I said one of the most not necessarily the most.

edit:
and have you seen J7E??? that think is insane for no reason.

It is an early Mig21 with more wing area and a stronger engine

So it is lighter than the Mig21 bis while having an equivalent engine and bigger wing area

I think that might be the reason

Also better designed wings, probably some composites too.

1990’s deep modernisation. Not as deep as JF-17, but deep enough.

I wouldn’t say that the Jf17 is a modernisation of the Mig21 as it doesn’t have that much in common with it

That is why the grind is setup to be so unberable. 150 dollar premiums soon just to skip that Grind to 16.0

You can see just a slight hint of MiG-21 on the back, also double delta wings work similarly to strakes so the FM is actually closer than they seem.

Yeah, I am deeply worried to be aware that we may run out of content before 2028…

Like- what happens then? This game’s economy relies on the regular addition of new content and Premiums… what comes when there’s nothing left to add anymore?

New players would still come, and players would always have the option to grind more nations, but… would that be enough to maintain the servers and enough staff members to support the game and its media? To keep the servers running and supported, with graphical and sound updates, bug fixing (maybe then they will actually “have time” for that lmao), mechanics, etc…

In the long term, maybe they could implement a modest subscription model to ensure the game’s survival- I am talking about 2030+, when there is no more content to implement left at all, in order to sustain the game’s economy. But, knowing this community, they would probably go berserk over the idea of paying 5€ a month for their game not to be discontinued and closed down. I personally would rather have the game survive indefinitely no matter what than have it be discontinued and close down forever in a few years, but maybe I’m weird.

hmmm, we’re getting closer to release then iirc? skins are normally pretty close to the end of the update cycle right?

Realistically speaking it doesn’t cost much to keep the servers running. It however costs a lot to keep staff for development. In other words, the game can coast for a long time with no income with just a skeleton crew.

But yes, games like this rely heavily on new content and part of my concerns with already jumping into Gen 5 presumably by the end of year mean the end might be closer than we think.

The game isn’t the type to monetize cosmetics effectively to ride on them either nor on game modes. It does seem like the only option is to go into experimental and paper vehicles
